Đọc kéo dài âm “u”, âm phát trong khoang
miệng chứ không thổi hơi ra với độ dài hơi
tương đối dài.

/ʊ/ là một nguyên âm ngắn. Để phát âm âm

này, bạn nên tạo khẩu hình môi hơi tròn tròn
đồng thời hướng ra phía ngoài. Không dùng
môi để phát âm này mà đẩy hơi rất ngắn từ cổ
họng. Lưỡi hạ thấp, độ dài hơi ngắn. Lưu ý, âm
“u” ngắn có phát âm tiếng Anh na ná âm tương
tự âm “ư” của tiếng Việt
